Face Value — Catherine Johnson

A story set in east London across two generations: Paula and Ness are two girls who become unlikely friends,when Paula becomes sucked into the dangers of the modelling scene; and Lauren, a mixed race girl who is discovered by a modelling agent on a school trip and the way in which this
affects her life. The two stories are interlinking and the reader gets a fantastic cross-generational picture of a vibrant, arty area of London.
